Goodreads Alternatives

Goodreads is described as 'See what your friends are reading. Keep track of what you've read and organize your books into virtual bookshelves. Join a book club to discuss your favorite books. A better way to find good books to read!' and is a very popular Social Network in the news & books category. There are more than 100 alternatives to Goodreads for a variety of platforms, including Web-based, iPhone, Android, iPad and Android Tablet apps. The best Goodreads alternative is LibraryThing, which is free. Other great apps like Goodreads are Open Library, BookWyrm, StoryGraph and Openreads.

filter to find the best alternatives

Goodreads alternatives are mainly Social Networks, but if you're looking for Library Managers or Ebook Libraries you can filter on that. Other popular filters include Open Source and EU. You can also filter by region, for example EU-based alternatives if you prefer software developed in the European Union. These are just examples - use the filter bar below to find more specific alternatives to Goodreads.
